Remember when “back to school” meant new pencils, cheap pizza, and textbooks that didn’t require a second mortgage? Yeah… us neither.
In 2025, “back to school” feels more like “back to debt.” Tuition keeps climbing, textbooks have gone full luxury-brand pricing, and student loans have ballooned to a jaw-dropping $1.8 trillion. That’s not higher education, that’s financial hazing.
At Truflation, we track the real numbers that governments and legacy institutions like to massage into oblivion. And here’s the truth: inflation isn’t just eating your lunch money, it’s eating your future.
So we’re doing something about it.
We’re making sure data > debt this semester:
👩‍🎓 For Students:
👨‍💼 For Non-Students (aka the rest of us stuck with “life tuition”):
👉 Campaign runs Aug 21 – Sep 5. After that, the banner vanishes, the deal’s gone, and it’s back to business as usual.
Students are the first to feel the burn of inflation: rent hikes, overpriced ramen, “mandatory” textbooks that cost more than your laptop. Giving them access to Truflation is an investment. Today’s students are tomorrow’s analysts, traders, and builders. If they grow up with real data, they’ll stop letting cooked numbers run their lives.
And for everyone else? Well, it’s time to stop pretending CPI makes sense. Because your grocery bill already knows the truth.
